10 Feb 16 - 03:57 AM (#3771742) Subject: RE: BS: Sanders From: GUEST,Dave The USA isn't my country, so its not really my business who they have as president, but what struck me is that these guys are all so old. Sanders 74, Clinton 68, Trump 69. Even Jeb Bush is 62. It that the right age to be writing job applications? Mind you, Jeremy Corbyn is 67, so it happens here too. |

He doesn't believe in evolution or global warming, opposes abortion even to save the life of the mother, wants to replace Obamacare with a "consumer-centered" system virtually identical to the old non-system, says Obama is "intentionally destroying America" so as to make it "like other countries." Etc. |

10 Feb 16 - 07:14 AM (#3771778) Subject: RE: BS: Sanders From: akenaton Good to see a move to Sanders, but he is preaching to the converted just as Corbyn is. To win the country is a different matter. At last a politician who dares to speak of "financial equality", good for Sanders, but that is hard to communicate to an electorate most of whom will be worse of financially because of it. America will gain something and lose something the loss will be that wonderful independence of spirit which most Americans possess. Do you really want to be like us!! :0) But a start has been made somewhere so good luck to the lad. |

Sanders fits the bill nicely as a new FDR without money. He is also without an Eleanor but an Elizabeth Warren on the ticket sounds good to me. |

10 Feb 16 - 09:49 AM (#3771820) Subject: RE: BS: Sanders From: Rapparee I got friends, I do. A number of those are "Millennials" who work and/or own their own business. Some are parents. More than half are Republicans. They're fed up. They'd like to "Don't Re-elect Anybody" and start over. The Trump, etc. group is supported mostly by those who either do not want change or want to turn the clock back to an idealized, but nonexistent, past of American striding like a monolith against the Godless Hoards, the factories running around the clock turning out tanks and guns and its young (except for those of the Powers That Be) marching off to Save The World Again. I don't see that group winning. The truly old don't want another WWII or Depression. The Millennials don't. The Boomers are split perhaps 50-50. This is a good time in history for the US to break with the past and create a new future. |

12 Mar 18 - 08:55 AM (#3910636) Subject: RE: BS: Sanders From: Bill D He may be... he wants to get his message out, whether he seriously expects to win or not. I have mixed feelings about him as I don't expect him to win and he would draw enough votes to skew the primaries. I sincerely hope he would NOT run in some 3rd party, as he would make what Ralph Nader did seem mild. |

Phoenix New Times interview ...by the way, anybody else read the Huffington Post about the kind of online posts that Bernie Sanders' son Levi Sanders enters in places like Facebook? Levi Sanders sounds like he would be right at home in those Mudcat BS threads which Mudcatter Stu has described as a "bear pit."
